Authentication and authorization control access to managed APIs that are available in API Portal.
A managed API can use the following types of authentication and authorization:
•Basic. To invoke the managed API, you authenticate with an Informatica Intelligent Cloud Services user name and password.
•OAuth 2.0. You receive OAuth 2.0 client credentials from the API Portal administrator and use them to generate an OAuth 2.0 authorization token that you then use to invoke the managed API.
•JSON Web Token (JWT). You generate a token in API Portal and use it to invoke the managed API. You can generate a token for a single managed API, for multiple managed APIs, and for a group of APIs.
You can view the authentication type or types that a managed API uses on the API Registry page. When a managed API uses more than one authentication type, you can use any of the relevant methods to invoke the managed API.
